Barbell back squat

Target: Glutes, quads, hamstrings, core

Form tips:

• As you lower into your squat, cast your eyes down to prevent craning your neck and excessively arching your lower back.
• Keep your knees in line with your toes so they're not caving in toward each other.
• If you are a beginner, close your fists when gripping the bar so it doesn't slip.

Modification – Barbell box squat:

• Use this alternative to build up good form and squat depth.
